Chapter 17: Rectifying the Backyard (2)
"Good!" Song Li suddenly stroked his palm and applauded, Gu thought that Song Li had promised to hand over the power of the family to her, and as soon as his face came to light, he saw Song Li nodding and saying, "That's good, but you're not suitable for a housekeeper, sit down." ”
Gu's smile tightened, and she instantly became crying and laughing, her mood fell from the clouds to the bottom, she stared at Song Li without giving up, and opened her mouth to fight.
Song Li shook the knife in the eye, and she sat back in place stupidly.
"Anyone else?" Song Li looked at the rest of the people.
Liu's is a little impatient, she has always looked down on Pan's, and after Pan's fall from grace, she didn't stumble on her, if Pan's family took revenge on her, she didn't have anything to do, not to mention that now that Grandpa Guo is not in Beijing, she doesn't even have a backing person.
Seeing that everyone was talking, Liu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The concubine has something to say!" ”
Song Li knew that this woman would definitely not give up, so he turned his eyes to look at her and raised his chin, "Said." ”
"The concubine thinks that such a major matter as the head of the family should wait for the master to make a decision after discussing with him after returning to Beijing." She said with bad intentions, now that Grandpa Guo is not in the house, she can only knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach when Song Li comes, and when Grandpa Guo comes back, relying on Grandpa Guo's favor for her, is she still afraid that she can't fight Song Li.
Although Song Li is a concubine, she has not been in the house for eight years, and her relationship with Grandpa Guo is definitely not as close as that of her, the pillow person, and when she blows the pillow wind, are you afraid that others will snatch away the power of the family.
She thought secretly, and was determined to wait for Grandpa Guo to come back.
"After all, you haven't been in the house for many years, you don't know anything about the things in the house, and you don't know about some black-hearted people!" She didn't forget to give Song Li Pan's eye drops.
Song Li looked at Liu like watching a monkey show, and his expression was a little funny, "I don't know if other people's hearts and livers are black or not, but your hearts and livers must be black." ”
Liu's face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot, "The eldest lady said with a smile. ”
Song Li looked at Liu Shi and raised his eyebrows lightly, nodded seriously, and said sincerely: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious!" ”
Liu's face was a little choked by Song Li, and he sneered and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that Song Li easily blocked Liu's blushing face and thick neck, everyone couldn't help but feel funny, Yingyue stood behind Song Li, buried her head and endured laughter.
"Okay, don't waste any time, it's decided, who has to have a problem and wait for my grandmother to come back or my dad to come back and talk to them in person."
"The concubine has objections."
Pan suddenly stood up, which surprised Song Li.
"Do you have any questions?" Song Li observed Pan's expression and asked with a frown.
Pan Shi looked at Song Li with a smile, a moment of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he bowed and said unhurriedly: "The concubine is old, and the rank is low, it is really difficult to be qualified for the position of head of the family, and I hope that the eldest lady will choose a new candidate." ”
In the face of Pan's refusal, Song Li's brows furrowed more and more, "Pan, are you a member of this mansion?" She asked Pan rhetorically.
Pan Shi was slightly stunned, a little unsure of what Song Li meant, but he still nodded firmly.
"Since you are a member of the house, is it embarrassing for you to be in charge? Or are you not willing to share some of the things you can for me and for my father? Song Li questioned again, then changed his tone, and said in a somewhat disappointed tone: "Since I let you and Aunt Zhu take charge of the house, I naturally trust you to have the ability to manage it well, and you refuse without trying, but it really chills me." ”
Song Li's questioning made Pan a little embarrassed, she knew that Song Li had been able to speak well since he was a child, and now that she was encountered, she really didn't know how to answer.
She didn't want to be in charge of the family's selfishness because she didn't want to get involved in the deceit in the backyard, but Song Li had said this, and she didn't know what to do if she refused.
In desperation, I had to agree to take this job.
Seeing that Pan was relieved, Song Li nodded with satisfaction.
"Get the handover done within today." She glanced at the Liu family lightly, and reminded her, after the Liu family and the Pan family and the Zhu family responded in unison, she turned her head to look at Jin Se again, "Later, you will follow the two aunts to learn to be in charge of the family in your spare time." ”
Jin Se nodded flatteredly, a little apprehensive. She had just received such a reuse when she first arrived at Pear Flower Pavilion, and it was stained with Song Huaijin's light.
"Let's disperse." Seeing that it was almost all arranged, Song Li's eyebrows were a little tired, and then he thought of something, and suddenly said: "Pan, you and Zhu get the account books first, and if the accounts don't match, let the Liu family fill them out of his own pocket." ”
She can't forget the jewels of the Song Yunzhen sisters when they came to find fault, which was even more extravagant than her concubine, and their mother's monthly salary was not enough to be so Huohuo, either with the Liu family's dowry, or the Liu family used his authority to open the back door for the two sisters.
If Liu's dowry is fine, if she embezzles money that shouldn't be used, she will have to fill it in even if she peels off Liu's skin.
Hearing that Song Li wanted to check the account books, Liu Shi panicked for a moment, his face was as white as tissue paper, and cold sweat broke out on his back. She has been in charge of the family for many years, relying on the grandfather of the country to never look at the account books, and often embezzle the funds in the house to buy clothes for Song Yunzhen, the popular fabric patterns, clothing styles, jewelry, as long as she has her, she will buy them for Song Yunzhen, not to mention rouge gouache, which is not a small expense.
In addition, Song Yunzhen has always been lascivious and often asks her for expenses, if it is really a thorough investigation, it is estimated that she can barely fill these holes by selling her dowry......
Song Li looked at the Liu family who was sitting still, and there was a little disdain in his eyes, and then he found that the Liu family's physiognomy had changed a lot, and her wealth palace was visible to the naked eye was shrouded in a cloud of black qi, and the Yin Hall began to be obscure.
Liu's is a sign that she is going to suffer and break her fortune, and she really embezzled the funds from the house to build her daughters.
Looking at the Pan family, the Zhu family is still wearing outdated patterns, and the fabric is also ordinary satin, and then looking at the Liu family, the Zhu Hai on her head is worth a lot of money, but it is really drowned and drowned.
But she doesn't have time to care about these now, and she's cleaning up the Liu family when she checks it out.
After the Pan Zhu family saluted Song Li, he left the courtyard behind the shaky Liu family, and the rest of the aunts also left with him.
"Sister Liu, my sister told you at the beginning, you can't be too greedy, you don't listen, it's okay now......" Gu's proud voice came, "I still remember Yun Zhen's Yuejin Luo skirt three days ago, this Yuejin is a hundred gold, sister, I haven't dared to start ......for a long time, sister"
Song Li listened to the voice coming from outside the courtyard, although he didn't know what Liu's expression was now, it must not be good-looking.
"Miss, do you want to rest for a while?"
Seeing that Song Li's face was a little tired, Yingyue asked intimately.
"Well, I'll sleep for a while." She rubbed her eyebrows, turned around and walked into the bedroom, and when she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped and said to Yingyue: "If my brother comes back, wake me up before I wake up, I have something to look for him." ”
"Okay miss, you go and rest." Yingyue nodded.
Back in the bedroom, Song Qiyi lay down and quickly fell asleep.
The Liu family returned to the courtyard with the Pan family and the Zhu family, and reluctantly and desperately taught the account book to the two of them, listening to the ridicule of the Gu family, and couldn't wait to give himself two slaps.
Knowing that there would be today, she didn't dare to embezzle the funds of the house when she was killed, and after sending away the three big Buddhas, she called her personal grandmother again and again, wanting to count her dowry and prepare in advance, but it took a long time to remember that the maid and grandmother around her were sent away by Song Li.
Thinking of this, she rushed out of the yard regardless of her image.
Her personal mother has been by her side since she was a child, and she has helped her do a lot of things over the years, and if those things are revealed that she died a hundred times is not enough, she cannot let such a person who can threaten her life and death at any time exist. She gritted her teeth, hoping to stop the grandmother before she was sent to Zhuangzi, it was best to stay, and if she couldn't stay, she had to find a way to get rid of her, she thought viciously, and the hatred for Song Li in her heart became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, she was extremely afraid.
She couldn't have imagined that a sixteen-year-old girl would be so clear-headed and so methodical that she could easily suppress her.
The most beloved daughter was broken, and she was deprived of the right to be in charge of the house, and she had to face filling the gap in funds, which was simply a rainy day.
Just after she ran out for a while, Qingtang took her personal grandmother to meet her halfway.
"Aunt Liu, this mama's deed of sale does not belong to the Guogong Mansion, I will return it to you for the time being, and I will make a decision on how to deal with it when I go back to Miss Yuming."
Mama's face was red and swollen, obviously she had been punished.
Aunt Liu gave the grandmother a look, and the grandmother nodded to Liu, and Liu's heart hanging in her throat was swallowed back into her stomach.
She couldn't wait to take her grandmother back to the courtyard, closed the door and hurriedly asked, "Did you say anything just now?" ”
Mama shook her head, her eyes were full of fierceness, "Miss, don't worry, I didn't say anything, my bones are very hard!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Shi let out a long sigh, and slumped on the soft couch like a boneless, applauding again and again, thinking that Mama's face was still injured, she lowered her head to remove the killing intent in her eyes, raised her hand and touched Mama's red and swollen face, and shed a little pity, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll let the doctor prescribe some medicine for you later, don't leave a scar." ”
Mama was moved and hurriedly thanked, but she didn't know that the Liu family had already killed her, and this medicine was her amulet.
The maidservants around her were all sent out of the house, and there was no one available around her except the old mama, so she took the old mama and the two into the treasury and began to count the dowry.
Pan and Zhu made an appointment to come to Pan's Shearing Wind Pavilion and took Jin Se to start checking the account books.
After some checking, the three of them were scared, the Liu family had been in charge of the house for more than ten years, and they had embezzled tens of millions of silver taels from the house, and some of the shop's accounts were not correct.
Pan hurriedly sent someone to invite a housekeeper, and after several people checked, they found that Liu was so bold that he embezzled the proceeds of the shop for his own use.
